A man has died after suffering a fall at Celtic Park in Glasgow during a Euro 2016 qualifier between Scotland and Ireland.

 

The 22-year-old fan appeared to fall in a stairwell at exit 33 within the stadium at the end of the match around 9.30pm on Friday, police said.

 

He was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he died of his injuries.

 

A police spokesman said: "Relatives have been informed and the Health and Safety Executive have been made aware.

 

"There are no suspicious circumstances and a report will be prepared for the procurator fiscal."

 

Scotland made their first home victory over Ireland in 53 years as they beat their neighbours 1-0 in their Group D qualifier.

 

They go level on seven points with Ireland and Germany, with Poland Group D leaders with 10.

 

The stadium was almost at its 60,000 capacity during the match.
